Custody and Records Contacts
For current county custody questions, contact Chaves County Detention at 3701 S. Atkinson, Roswell, NM 88203, or call (575) 624-6517. Administrative hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Written Inspection of Public Records Act requests go to the county records custodian at #1 St. Mary's Place, Roswell, NM 88203, by email at IPRA@chavescounty.gov, or by fax at (575) 624-6659.
State-prison records use a separate process. The NMCD IPRA notice lists the Records Custodian at P.O. Box 27116, Santa Fe, NM 87502-0116, phone (505) 629-2583, and links the monitored NextRequest portal. NMCD also lists Inmate Records at (505) 690-9790 and Probation and Parole at (866) 416-9867. The research did not publish office hours for those state contacts, so confirm availability on the live NMCD page. Use the following route for each type of need:
- Use the home page for the full released-person search and county release-record request process.
- Check post-release supervision for NMCD parole, probation, and the Roswell district office.
- Review the 24-hour release fallback when looking for a very recent county departure.
- Use the release date lookup for a projected date and the VINE page for custody alerts.
- Select the correct detention or supervision system from the facility pages in the footer.
- Search the New Mexico Corrections Department offender service for a sentenced state prisoner.
- Use the official Bureau of Prisons or ICE locator for a federal or immigration custody question.
